“When used to its fullest capacity, this program can enhance the work of counseling teams and college and career readiness staff who work with larger numbers of students. It also provides an accessible way for students to work on their post-secondary plans and provides a place for them to share this plan with their parents.” - AchieveMPLS, NCAN member, Minneapolis, Minnesota

The NCAN paper outlines the advantages for Naviance use with college access programs through its ability to report at various levels, its usability amongst various populations, and the user-friendly design of the system.
